Valentine roses – the most traditional of the traditional
romantic Valentine gifts for her … Every year for
Valentine's Day, many, many women are presented with the traditional bouquet of a dozen red roses.
This is unsurprising, as the red roses symbolize romance and
passion.
While the florists make it simple to know which Valentine day
flowers to buy, doing a little research can make it a more
unique Valentines Day gift for your favorite girl.
Why the Rose is Red
Legend has it that all roses were once white. A nightingale
saw a rose, and then fell deeply in love. Before this, the
nightingale has only been able to chirp and croak. Passion
overtook him and he pressed against the flower, and the thorns
pierced his heart.
After this happened, the rose became forever red.
There are a few women who would actually prefer a rose of a
different color. Valentine roses don't have to be red – in fact,
they don't even have to be in a vase.
While it might not be a good idea to give a root ball with
thorns sticking out of plastic wrap to certain women, those who
appreciate gardening might genuinely appreciate the
thoughtfulness of a gift that keeps on giving.
Roses come in a variety of growing temperaments, but even the
novice gardener can enjoy the fast growing varieties.
What better reminder of your love than the ongoing rose bush?
I mean, after all – a dozen roses last a couple of weeks at
best? Valentine day flowers have long been a standard gift, but
I say go out on a limb and do something different.
Of course, not every woman wants the responsibility of
growing a rose bush. You can still impress her with a Valentine
Day bouquet that she will never forget. If you can give her
Valentines Day flowers that symbolize your love and commitment,
then you will make a definite impression.
The Meaning of the Color of Roses for Valentines
Did you know that different colored roses symbolize different
things? Picking the right Valentine flower means that you might
want to know exactly what your bouquet says to your lover.
Red Roses Symbolism
Red Valentine roses have long been the standard because it
symbolizes enduring passion and romantic love.
The "true love" is stronger than the thorns, and it has the
universal meaning as a lover's rose.
White Roses Symbolism
White roses symbolize loyalty, innocence and purity. It is
often considered a bridal rose.
If you are considering a proposal this Valentine's Day, then
what better valentine day flowers could your present your lover
with?
Yellow Roses Symbolism
Yellow roses symbolize affection and warmth, as well as
friendship.
Maybe not the best choice for your lover, but if you have a
close friend or a parent you want to honor on Valentine's Day,
then yellow roses are a beautiful choice.
Pink Roses Symbolism
Pink Valentines Day roses can be a complimentary choice to
your Valentine Day bouquet.
These roses symbolize gentleness and elegance.
Different shades of pink have different meanings, but pale
shades of pink symbolize admiration and happiness.
Peach Roses Symbolism
Peach roses are sent most often to express sympathy.
These also represent appreciation, modesty and sincerity.
Orange Roses Symbolism
Orange toned roses represent desire.
There is no better way to let her know you are attracted to
her with fire and excitement than with blooms that represent
that passion.
These roses also express enthusiasm and fascination; perfect if
you want to say, 'I want to know more about you'.
Lilac Roses Symbolism
Lilac roses are the perfect choice if you want to send a
message of "love at first sight". These flowers represent
enchantment and desire. If you have a new relationship, and
perhaps haven't said those three little words, then this might
be a unique way to let her know that you are smitten.
Combinations of different colors can create a unique message.
There are many meanings depending on what combinations you
choose. One example is red and white: these colors represent
unity. White roses combined with yellow equal harmony. Red and
yellow are a celebration and represent happiness. If you want to
write a message in your Valentines Day flower delivery, you can
send a message without writing a word.
Other Symbolism of Roses
Color isn't the only way to send a message with roses. This
beautiful flower has long been heralded as one of the most
popular choices in bouquets.
The Symbolism of a Single Rose
Over time, there have been new meanings attributed to the
presentation of a rose.
Did you know that a single rose means "I still love you?"
The Symbolism of Roses Full Bloom
You can periodically present one to your partner to keep love
fresh.
Flowers presented in full bloom express gratitude.
The Symbolism of Rosebuds
Rosebuds that haven't opened are generally reserved for
innocent love, meaning "you are forever young and beautiful."
How Many Roses Should You Send?
This whole rose with meaning doesn't end with colors – the
number you send is important as well. Roses aren't limited to
Valentine's Day, so some of these numbers may come in handy for
occasions later down the road.
Roses aren't exclusively about romance, although they remain
the perfect flower for lovers.
A single rose is best when presented on a
first date, or as an occasional "I still love you" reminder in
the years to come. Not enough bang for a valentine gift.
Two roses can be given to represent mutual
love and affection.
Three roses are reserved for a one month
anniversary (you will be considered a romantic – I promise),
since the roses represent each person plus the shared love.
Six roses represent infatuation. This can be
given to a crush, but you probably want more for a serious
relationship.
Nine roses mean "we will be together
forever" – you can tell her what it means when she is trying to
figure out where the other three roses are.
Ten roses, while not very common, lets your
lover know your love is a "perfect ten."
One dozen, the most common number, says "Be
Mine!" The perfect message for Valentines Day flowers to send.
Thirteen roses are sent with the message
"Secret Admirer."
Fifteen roses mean you are sorry; hopefully
you won't need fifteen on Valentine's Day, but inevitably every
man has to say sorry at some point. This one is a winner.
Two dozen shout out "I'm yours!" It can also
mean that you are thinking about them 24 hours a day.
Twenty five roses is the number to send for
congratulations.
Three dozen equates being head over heels in
love – that will have to make a good impression.
Forty roses mean that the love is genuine.
It has stood the test of time and runs deep.
Fifty, or anything over that, means that
your love is limitless.
How to Present Your Valentines Day Roses
There are several different ways to present your valentines
roses. Delivery is the easiest way to get your flowers to your
beloved. There are many Valentines Day flower delivery places
online, with some reputable names.
Don't Buy Cheap Flowers
Cheap Valentine Flowers will often wilt quickly and not give
the shelf life you want. If you want to impress with a bouquet,
get some bang for the buck. Don't just buy flowers for the sake
of handing her flowers.
Local Florists Are also Another Option
If you have a working relationship, your florist can
customize your order and deliver your valentines roses to her
home or work.
You can choose to purchase them on your own, but please don't
settle for the grocery store bouquet! There is no telling if
those roses were held in temperatures too cold, and if so they
will often die before they open up.
This is very disappointing, especially since these cost
almost the same as ordering a nice bouquet of valentine roses
for much more glam.
A Rosebush Can Be a Great Idea
If you do decide to go risqué and buy a rose bush instead
of the traditional bouquet, know what to expect when you order
it. You might want a
Valentines Day Gifts for Women to accompany the rose.
Valentine's Day is actually a great time to buy a rose bush,
as it is getting close to time to plant in most areas. Ordering
a plant gives you countless options for color, petal count,
scent, and growth size.
Roses are available in small short shrubs, massive plants and
climbing vines. Depending on where it will go, you need to make
sure you pick the right plant.
If your partner is a gardener, but still in novice stages,
then try the "Knockout Roses" as a first plant. These roses are
very disease resistant, grow quickly (they bloom the same year)
and offer a long bloom time. In southern states, you will get
blooms into November!
A True Flower Lover Will Also Appreciate the Accompanying
Rose Growing Tools
Perhaps some Miracle Grow, a Rose stimulator for the roots,
and even some soil to amend the growing area. If you are
purchasing a small patio size plant, pick out a pretty planter
as well.
Roses are some of the hardiest plants you can grow if you
protect them from diseases and insects. In the winter you can
cut them back almost to the ground and it will come back bigger
and better than before.
Valentine roses will keep on giving year after year, and new
starts can even be cut off of the mature plant.
A plant that has to be protected, fertilized, and maintained
is the perfect symbol of a relationship.
We have to keep it alive, year after year. Protect from
frost, insects and disease to stay healthy. There is nothing
that can symbolize your love more than that. 🙂
